چکیده

Acute macular neuroretinopathy is an infrequently encountered condition in which there is a sudden mild central vision loss, photopsia and red-brown wedge-shaped lesions in the macular region with corresponding scotomata in the central visual fields. The condition may be associated with the use of oral contraceptives or with a recent febrile illness. It is self-limiting and non-recurrent. The clinical features of a patient with acute macular neuroretinopathy are described and the nature of the vascular aetiology is discussed.

Paracentral Acute Middle Maculopathy and Acute Macular Neuroretinopathy: Related and Distinct Entities.

Type 1 acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN), also known as paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM), is a novel form of AMN in which spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) demonstrates a characteristic hyper-reflective band-like lesion at the level of the inner nuclear layer. This form of AMN has only recently been described in five patients who were predominantly older men wi...

Traumatic retinopathy presenting as acute macular neuroretinopathy.

AIM Traumatic retinopathy presenting as acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMNR) is an uncommon disease causing paracentral scotomas after indirect trauma. METHODS We report on five patients (six eyes) with AMNR with a temporary reduction of visual acuity and persistent paracentral scotomas after indirect trauma. The findings were documented using multimodal imaging and the follow-up was up to 3...

A patient with acute macular neuroretinopathy and central retinal vein occlusion

PURPOSE The precise mechanism causing acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN) is still unknown. A recent report suggested that choroidal circulation impairment correlates with its pathogenesis. We report a rare case with simultaneous onset of AMN and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO), which is a retinal circulation disorder. METHODS Case report. RESULTS A 44-year-old woman complained of ce...
